[HP] just lover
Chapter 31
When the community manager finally left, Vanessa found the feminine hygiene products on the living room floor.
She walked over, bent down to pick it up with difficulty, looked in the direction of the second floor, and went to the bathroom first.
On the second floor, Sirius sat in the guest room and found the portrait hanging on the wall.
"Mr. Black, it's you." Roxy looked at him unexpectedly, "I thought I had no chance to see you."
Sirius stared blankly at the portrait of the lady who almost died because of him, and said after a long time, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wilson."
Roxy said with a smile: "Don't apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was my own carelessness. It's good now, isn't it? I can be with my Vanessa forever."
Even if she said that, Sirius couldn't help but blame himself. He sat there, unable to care about the embarrassment just now, his eyes were hot and bloodshot.
When Vanessa came up, she saw him standing there straight, with his back stiffened, one hand propped against the wall, staring at the portrait and constantly apologizing to Roxy.This is something Vanessa has often done since her mother died.
"Come here." She said slowly to Sirius.
Sirius looked over and stared at her intently for a long time with gray eyes, then withdrew his hand and walked slowly over.
He followed her back to her bedroom.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at Vanessa's back, Sirius pursed his thin lips and wanted to say something, but Vanessa spoke before that, blocking all his words with one sentence.
"That matter is in the past, don't mention it again."
Vanessa walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat down, pulled the quilt over herself, tilted her head and said to him, "Why do you go to the store as a dog?" She didn't think Sirius would be so stupid and cause so many Muggles Of note, he must have a reason.
Sure enough, Sirius remembered the embarrassing experience just now, and his handsome face was stained with dissatisfaction and annoyance: "...I don't have Muggle currency, and I didn't remember it until I arrived, so I had to leave the store like this. However, I kept Jin Jia Long." He still hated those Muggles, and secretly decided that he must teach them a lesson in the future, but definitely not now.
Vanessa raised her forehead: "It's all my fault, I forgot about it, I should give you money."
Sirius turned his head and said, "No need. When I come to you in the future, I will definitely exchange enough Muggle currency."
must!absolute!affim!The kind of thing that happened today, don't happen again in this life, resolute!
Silence swept over, and it took a long time for Vanessa to say to Sirius: "What do you want to see me today?"
In fact, this is knowingly asking, today is Valentine's Day, what can Sirius do?
He didn't answer directly, but just said to her: "Lie down, I'll take care of you, do you want to eat or drink?"
He directly took out a candy from his pocket, turned the candy into a cup, then used a clear spring like water, and finally applied a heating spell. After everything was done, he walked to her with the finished product, and handed it over to her, saying, "Drink some hot water."
Vanessa looked at the cup of hot water. With her here, Sirius could use magic freely, and Zongsi from the Ministry of Magic couldn't determine whether underage wizards were using magic under such circumstances.
"Thank you." She took the cup and drank a few mouthfuls of hot water, feeling a little better.
Lie down slowly, Vanessa really couldn't hold on anymore, although Sirius hadn't left yet, it's not good for her to lie down directly, but she really had enough troubles today, so let's just be rude this time.
"What else do you need? Oh, yes, menstrual pain potion, I can make this, where is the potion room? Downstairs?" Sirius stood up, holding his wand and asked her, Vanessa looked at him and frowned Thinking about it, he was silent for a while before speaking.
"Do you know the recipe for the Dysmenorrhea potion?" she asked him.
Sirius spoke quickly, "I don't know."
Vanessa wanted to say something, but Sirius immediately continued: "But I can find out, all I need is a book, do you have a book on this?"
Vanessa was running a potion shop, and of course there were many books on potion making. She nodded and told him the location of the potion room. Sirius went downstairs immediately after knowing it.
Lying on the bed, Vanessa looked at the ceiling quietly, recalling everything that could be said to be flying around tonight, it was really a big difference.
Less than half an hour later, Sirius came up with a measuring bottle. He took off his scarf, took off his school robe, and only wore a sweater, shirt and trousers. The neckline was a golden red that belonged to Gryffindor. The tie was really out of place in her Slytherin-like home.
"It's done."
Sirius walked to her side, hesitated for a moment, and sat on the side of her bed with his lips pursed, then stretched out a hand to help her up.
Vanessa was startled, as if she didn't expect him to have such a considerate side.
"The color and requirements are the same as those written in the book. It's very simple to make, so there must be no problem." He showed her the potion he made, and said with a slight smile, "Drink it quickly, you will feel comfortable after drinking it." He said Putting his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean into his arms, he whispered softly, with a masculine breath and voice, which made Vanessa a little confused.
She drank the potion with his hand, and it tasted surprisingly good, not bad at all.
"I added a little something else, it won't affect the efficacy of the medicine, but the taste will be delicious." Sirius said so, and directly chanted the disappearing spell on the empty bottle.
He didn't want to go to the measuring bottle anymore, he wanted to just hold her like this.
But she still left his arms.
Vanessa lay on the bed again, covered the quilt and said, "It tastes like orange, it's delicious." Maybe it's a good choice to figure out the formula and sell it out. The production time is short, the taste is good, and the effect is not bad. Drink After going down, the dysmenorrhea eased a lot soon.
"That's good, I wrote the recipe in the notebook in your potions room, if I'm not around in the future... no, I won't be around, I'll send it to you every month from now on." Sirius twisted seriously His slender eyebrows and gray eyes were full of thought, "I will remember today's date and send it to you in advance."
Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I moved a week earlier this month...and I don't do it every week."
Sirius nodded and said, "That's okay, be prepared."
Vanessa looked at him, it felt so good to be cared about, Sirius' tone of voice and the emotion in his eyes, it was hard for Vanessa to ignore
"By the way, there is this." He seemed to think of something suddenly, took out an exquisite gift box from his pants pocket, handed it to her and said, "This is the gift I want to give you personally, you know, today is... lover Festival." He breathed out slightly, summoned up the courage to look at Vanessa, and said without any rejection, "You must accept it."
Vanessa glanced at the gift box and whispered, "But I may not have the energy to prepare a return gift for you today."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you put it away." Sirius sent the gift box forward.
Vanessa slowly stretched out her hand, took the gift box, and opened it in front of him. He said in a panic, "You can open it after I leave, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Vanessa opened the gift.
Inside the box was a ring.
Vanessa watched, falling silent.
The meaning of the ring does not need to be elaborated too much. There is no question of whether to accept this gift, and it is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable.
Vanessa opened her mouth to refuse, but Sirius said first, "You take it first, as I keep it with you."
Vanessa looked at him disapprovingly, and Sirius continued, "Remember my promise to you?"
"Which one are you referring to?" she asked confusedly.
Sirius was silent for a while, and said to her, "I will leave the Black house."
Vanessa looked at him in disbelief: "I thought you were joking."
"Every word I say to you is serious." Sirius stood beside the bed and said expressionlessly, "I said, at most one year."
Vanessa forced herself to sit up: "Don't mess around, you..."
"That's not random. Even without you, I would have done it sooner or later." Sirius tilted his head and said with a frown, "That place has never been a home for me. In my parents' minds, I also call Not really their sons. All their ideas run counter to mine, even if they may not agree with some of the Dark Lord's current extreme practices, but they are no different from the Dark Lord's ultimate ideas. The revival of the so-called pure blood glory, no Avoiding, facing Muggles, ruling Muggles... They think they are on the right path, but they don't know that they are the ones who really want to destroy the Black family."
Sirius smiled mockingly, and said in a low voice, "In their minds, no matter how normal my ideas are, I'm unworthy and rebellious. Only my younger brother——Regulus, he is theirs. A brave little hero in my heart who can fight for the glory and interests of the Black family." When Sirius said this, his tone was extremely calm and indifferent. It is hard to imagine how he maintains reason at this moment, in fact, he is often a little impulsive As a hot-blooded young man who doesn't care about the consequences, he can maintain this state at this moment, obviously because this matter and these words have been tossing and turning in his heart for a long, long time.
In fact, this is very difficult for Sirius.
He had grown up in an environment like the Blacks', but he wasn't made to be a Death Eater.Look at Regulus, Vanessa has never been in contact with him, and she doesn't comment on his character or behavior. The only thing she knows is that he grew up in the same family as Sirius, but his and Sirius' choices are completely different. on the contrary.
Sirius was able to maintain rare justice in such a world and such a family, and even chose to leave the family and give up his status as the heir of the Black family. Even if it might be because of her, Vanessa could not say that he Not acting bravely.
Although in the eyes of his family, he may be an out-and-out rebellious son, useless and vicious, but the rebellious and magnanimous justice he harbors is very precious and very precious in the eyes of others. charming.
She stared at him deeply, his handsome silhouette reflected in her green eyes.
Sirius looked very relaxed at the moment, even smiled, and said casually: "That home is not called home, it is a cage, and everything about me is shackled. Recently, they even..." Even forced him and Puvit He would never agree to get engaged to his young lady when he was graduating from sixth grade.
"Don't talk about that." Sirius didn't intend to mention these things to upset Vanessa, anyway, they were destined not to happen, he said directly, "You take it first, don't reject me, wait until I really fulfill my promise After that, I'll come back and propose to you."
He even proposed directly.
Vanessa looked at him in astonishment. She never thought that one day, there would be a man who would marry her regardless of his noble family or even everything else.
Those things that she once wanted to beg from the man she loved the most in the past, she got it from Sirius without any effort.
"But I am the daughter of a pure-blood traitor." Vanessa said hoarsely, "If you marry me, you will not only lose your position as the heir to the Black family, but also become a thorn in the side of the Death Eaters. You..."
"Even if they don't see me as a thorn in their side, I will try my best to fight them when I join the Order of the Phoenix after graduation." Sirius said without hesitation, "Also, never say anything about a pure-blood traitor, Vanessa, it's just the Dark Lord It’s just an extreme concept thrown up by those self-willed, stupid and arrogant pure-blood families, magic has no distinction between high and low, and the same is true for people who know magic.”
There is no distinction between high and low magic, and so are those who know it.
He was so right.
If every wizard could think so clearly like Sirius, wouldn't the war that is about to start happen?
Vanessa listened to his words, her mood changed little by little.
Sirius knelt down slowly, meeting her eyes at close range.
"Just keep it for me temporarily." He said softly, "Don't be stressed, that's the path I was destined to take, it's for you, but more for myself." He was silent for a while, with self-mockery on his face "Since in their eyes, I have always been a rebellious son who wants to destroy the Black family, and nothing I do can bring honor and prosperity to that family, then they don't need to worry anymore. I will quit by myself .”
"Sirius..." Vanessa still tried to persuade him, but he directly pressed her back on the bed and lay down, saying each word, "rest, you are tired. This ring, when I was in sixth grade, I will Come and get it, if you still don't want to accept my words at that time."
Vanessa lay back on the bed, staring at Sirius with complicated eyes. He folded his hands in his pockets and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't feel guilty about it, and don't be too narcissistic to think that I'm all for you. Vanessa , I'm 16 years old, I'm a little older than them all, because my birthday is after the start date, so I can only enter the second year. I spent 12 years old in the school when I officially entered Hogwarts Birthday." He said to her, "I'm not a kid anymore, I know what I'm doing." He wanted to kiss her goodnight, but seeing her look, he gave up the idea.
He went to the door, said "good night" to her, and then closed the door and left.
He didn't go back to Hogwarts.
Vanessa could still feel his breath.
He's in the guest room, roughly, chatting with Roxy's portrait—perhaps continuing to apologize.
Vanessa pulled up the quilt and covered herself tightly, holding the ring tightly in her hand, and finally decided to keep it temporarily.
Maybe she should also give herself and the future a chance.
She will never meet anyone in her life who is willing to give everything for her like Sirius.
If you haven't tried anything, how do you know you won't be happy together?Maybe they will be happy together.
After closing her eyes and taking the potion, she felt much better and was able to sleep.
However, she didn't sleep long when there was a knock on the window, and it was an owl.
Today is a holiday, and it's normal for an owl to visit, but... for a relationship like Vanessa, receiving gifts on Valentine's Day, except for Sirius's, everyone else seems strange.
She lifted the quilt and got up, went to the window and opened it, took off the wraps from the owl's feet, and prepared some nuts for it.
She had seen this owl before.
It was used when Narcissa delivered a letter last time.
Vanessa opened the package, and inside she saw Narcissa's letter, chocolates, and...a beautiful diamond necklace.
The necklace is really beautiful, the main diamond in the center is green, clear in color and beautiful in fire, surrounded by supporting diamonds, one by one, from big to small, extending backward a little bit - such a necklace is worth a lot Needless to say.
Unfolding the letter paper, Vanessa saw a few words written by Narcissa on the letter.
[Please accept the gift, as soon as I saw it, I felt that it should belong to you, and I look forward to seeing you wearing it.In addition, no expensive return gifts are needed, chocolates made by yourself will do. —Your faithful Narcissa Malfoy]
From N·M.
Vanessa held the letter paper and fell into deep thought. The relationship between her and Narcissa was not good enough to exchange gifts, let alone such expensive gifts.But this is indeed Narcissa's handwriting, and it is also from her.
When she was hesitating whether to accept it, another owl flew in. Although it didn't look very strong, it was full of pride.
Vanessa accidentally caught it, took off the letters on its feet, and placed a food bowl for it next to the owl just now.
Seeing the owl bowed its head and began to eat, Vanessa went to check the letter it brought.
No bloody Valentines, just a letter from Severus Snape that Vanessa met a while ago.
Snape's handwriting was the same as his own, and he resolutely and resolutely wrote SS on the envelope. Before Vanessa had time to open it, there was a knock on the door. There was no one else here except Sirius.
Vanessa put the necklace Narcissa sent into the box, then turned her head and said, "Please come in."
Sirius stepped in from the outside of the door: "I saw an owl." His handsome face was dark, and he asked a little stiffly and hesitantly, "Who sent you the Valentine's Day gift?"
Vanessa glanced at the gift box on the table and said truthfully, "It's Mrs. Malfoy."
Sirius looked at her unexpectedly: "Narcisha?"
"Yes, I'm surprised too, I'm still wondering whether to accept it or not." She put down Snape's letter, picked up the necklace, and opened it to Sirius to see, "It's too precious, she said as long as I send the chocolate back That's it, I..."
"It's just a drop in the bucket to her, it's not expensive at all." Sirius fiddled with the necklace and said, "She married Malfoy, if you've seen the jewelry she wears, you won't think it's expensive. You It's totally acceptable, though I hate Malfoy, but not Narcissa."
After all, she was his sister, and Narcissa had never openly disliked Sirius' life philosophy like Bellatrix did. His relationship with her wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either.
"But I always feel that this is not good." Vanessa was still a little hesitant.
"It's nothing wrong, didn't you want to send the chocolate back?" Sirius put the necklace back into the box, his eyes were attracted by a letter, he glanced at the SS on it calmly, and didn't think about how to ask, Vanessa spoke again.
She said: "Since you said so, then I'll accept it. It doesn't seem good to always refuse other people's kindness. I'm going to make chocolate now, and I can send it back in time for Valentine's Day. Do you want it?"
Sirius immediately said, "Of course, I want the first one."
"Then come and help."
She took his arm, and she felt no menstrual cramps at all, and left the bedroom with Sirius in a good mood, and went to the kitchen on the first floor to make chocolate.She herself was relatively relaxed, but Sirius was still thinking about the letter sent on Valentine's Day.
There was really nothing wrong with the content of that letter.
That was Snape's reply to Vanessa's offer of a joint potions shop.
The suggestion she made at Christmas, which Snape didn't reply until Valentine's Day, was obviously well thought out.
After Sirius left the next day, Vanessa opened the letter.
His letter was very short and rarely sarcasm-free, and he told her directly that he agreed.
Vanessa is very happy. Snape's future is limitless, and his achievements in potions will surely surpass any potions master she knows well. Working with him, she can almost describe the beauty and prosperity of the potions store. of the future.
Malfoy Manor.
Lucius has been busy with the official duties of the Ministry of Magic and the private tasks of the Dark Lord recently, and rarely goes home.
Nearly a week after Valentine's Day, Narcissa met her husband who had finally returned home.
Lucius took off his robe and handed it to her. Narcissa asked him, "Is it going well?"
He nodded and said nothing, looking very tired.
Narcissa looked at his back as he was about to go up to the second floor, thought for a while and said: "There is a box of chocolates, I put it in your bedroom, I can't get in your study."
Lucius stopped and looked at her, a little surprised: "You made me chocolate?" He thought for a while, "I'm sorry, because I was too busy, I forgot to prepare a Valentine's Day gift for you."
Narcissa smiled and said, "I didn't prepare it for you."
"Who is that?" He frowned.
"Vanessa made it herself." Narcissa said lightly, "I gave her a necklace, no, to be precise, it was from you. What I saw on the table in your bedroom is a women's necklace, definitely not What’s for me is for her.”
Lucius stood there silently, still maintaining the movement of untying his tie. It took him a long time before he said, "Why do you think it wasn't for you?"
Narcissa said: "Because you never gave me such...shabby jewelry. What you gave me was extremely luxurious and priceless."
Indeed, the necklace was actually quite expensive, but compared to the other jewels Lucius bought, it was really not on the table.
Lucius turned his head back and said to her with a stiff back: "Why did you do that, I remember I told you, stop doing unnecessary things."
Narcissa hugged his wizard robe and said: "Lucius, we grew up together, and I know too well which of your words is true and which is false. We are a family and will have children together in the future. I Treat you as my best friend, and I am willing to make some efforts for you, even if you don't want to speak your truth."
Lucius looked at her with a complicated expression, and finally went straight to the bedroom without saying anything.
He originally wanted to go to the study. The Dark Lord is planning an attack again recently. His target this time is the Order of the Phoenix. He wants to teach Dumbledore a lesson. He probably already concluded that it was Dumbledore who destroyed the Horcrux. There was nothing better than to have no more doubts about him.
He hurried back to the bedroom, walked to the bed, picked up the chocolate box on the bedside table, he opened it gently, reached out and took out one, even if he didn't put it in his mouth, he could still smell the rich taste of chocolate.
However, this chocolate tasted bitter.
Very bitter.
Hogwarts.
After Sirius went back to school, he never forgot the letter he sent to Vanessa on Valentine's night.
from SS.
That owl still looks familiar.
"Sirius." Potter's voice rang in his ear, "What are you thinking? I didn't respond to talking to you."
Sirius returned to his senses, frowned and said, "What did you just say?"
Potter pointed at Snape who was making potions with Lily Evans not far away with his chin, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you surprised that this Valentine's Day, the snot-nosed man didn't invite Evans."
Sirius was also a little surprised: "Really?"
Potter said: "It's absolutely true." He pushed his glasses, "Do you think he was afraid of being beaten by us on Valentine's Day last year, so he didn't dare?"
Sirius glanced at Snape, who had his back turned to this side. He had been partnering with Evans in Potions class, which was nothing surprising, almost all Gryffindors and Slytherins knew about them Close relationship, he used to pester Evans on Valentine's Day, why not this year?
If he said he was afraid of being beaten, he would never believe it.
"Could it be that he has some conspiracy?" Seeing Sirius' serious expression, James Potter said nervously, "He won't be doing something in the dark to avoid our attention, right?"
Sirius slowly added the cut ingredients into the cauldron, and said absently, "That's impossible. You stare at Evans all day, how could he avoid your sight and play tricks."
Potter didn't realize that Sirius looked like a perverted voyeur in what he said, so he took it for granted, "You're right, then what's going on with him?"
Remus and Peter were right behind them and could hear their conversation. Remus couldn't help but said at this moment: "Maybe we misunderstood, in fact Evans and Snape are just good friends, he has a favorite now. girl?"
"Impossible!" Potter said in a loud voice, which attracted Professor Slughorn's attention. He immediately covered his mouth and glanced in the direction of Lily Evans. Pu looked over together.
She glanced at him in disgust, and quickly looked away.
Being so despised by the person he likes makes Potter feel unhappy.
"The way that guy looks at Evans definitely likes her, there is no other possibility." Potter finished angrily, shaking the stirring rod vigorously, and Sirius grabbed his wrist speechlessly.
"Do you want to fry the cauldron?" He snatched the stirrer from Potter, who moaned and looked frustrated.
While stirring the cauldron, Sirius was thinking about the connections between these things. He suddenly realized something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Snape. Snape seemed to be aware of it, and looked back at him with cold and contemptuous eyes.
SS...
Severus Snape.
It's him!
Sirius stared at Snape intently, his gray eyes wide open, until Potter's hand dangled before his eyes.
"Sirius, what's wrong with you?" James asked puzzled, "Are you playing a game of whoever blinks first loses with the snotling?"
Sirius frowned and said, "Come with me to the owl shed after class."
"What are you doing there? It's dirty." James was a little puzzled.
"I'm going to make sure of one thing."
After Lily Evans and Snape handed in the potion first, Sirius also quickly finished the remaining steps, handed the potion to Slughorn, and dragged James away in a hurry.
Remus and Peter hadn't finished yet, so they could only watch helplessly as they left first.
"Hey, slow down, Sirius, I almost fell!" Potter suggested helplessly, but his brother didn't listen at all.
When they finally arrived at the owl shed, before he had time to rest, Sirius grabbed his sleeve and said, "You know Snape's owl, right?"
Potter nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Find it." Sirius gave him a push.
Potter turned his head and touched the back of his head: "What are you looking for with his owl?"
"See if he sent a letter while we were away." Sirius said with a serious expression.
Potter was stunned, and suddenly realized: "I know! You want to see if he secretly wrote to ask Evans! You are so smart, Sirius, why didn't I think of it, he didn't ask Evans in person , it may also be a letter to make an appointment!"
...he was completely mistaken.
The corner of Sirius' mouth twitched, with a look of embarrassment on his handsome face, but he didn't explain, and went straight to looking for Snape's owl with James.
When not sending letters, the owl would live in the owl shed, and Snape's owl was free at the moment, in a corner of the shed.
Sirius looked at the owl he had seen outside the window of Vanessa's house, with a slightly condensed expression.
It's really him.
James Potter was eager to try: "We found the snotty owl, what do we do now? How do we know if it sent a letter on Valentine's Day?"
Sirius glanced at the owl and said, "It was sent, but not to Evans."
Porter black question mark face.
Sirius lowered his eyes, and the hand beside him slowly clenched his fist.
Snape had no idea what Sirius was doing at the moment, or what he was thinking.
The reason why he didn't ask Lily on Valentine's Day was because he was still thinking about last year's Valentine's Day.
That incident stuck in his heart like a thorn. Even though he had chosen to forgive Lily, they were still friends as before, but every time he thought about it, his heart ached.
When it came to Valentine's Day, the familiar environment made those memories come out clearly, not to mention Yue Lili, even to meet her, he didn't even have the courage to meet her that day.
Sirius had completely lost his mind.
He thought Snape had moved on.
He thought that Snape fell in love with Vanessa, he thought of the time when Snape was in St. Mungo's, and thought of the threats and provocations Snape made to him after he came back, and immediately felt that his idea was not wrong at all. .
James Potter discovered that Sirius had been targeting snot-nosers recently as before.
He was very happy, and said to his brother: "You are familiar with the same way, you don't know how polite you were to the snot man a while ago, and you didn't allow me to call him by his nickname, how terrified I am." He whispered , "I thought you had the Imperius Curse."
Sirius sat at the long table, and everyone else was eating, but he couldn't finish it.
He glanced across the long table, looked away and said, "I just think he needs a lesson before he can figure out the situation."
James echoed: "Yes, he really owes a lesson. Evans stared at me recently, and it must be because the snot said something about me in front of her! But how do we teach him?" He was eager to try, "Try Try our new prank?"
Sirius cast an inexplicable glance at Remus who was eating, and suddenly said, "It will be a full moon night in a few days."
James nodded and said, "Yeah, you..." He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "You mean..."
Sirius sneered, "He's always sneaking around and wondering what we did on the night of the full moon, expecting us to be fired. Well, let's just let him see what we're doing."
Sirius already had a plan in mind.
He wouldn't put him to death like in the fourth year, now Snape didn't threaten Vanessa's life, and he didn't have any interest in killing people.Even if the other party has pledged allegiance to Voldemort and is an out-and-out Death Eater, he will definitely become his enemy after graduation.
He just wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know that he might as well choose Lily Evans than Vanessa.
He wasn't making trouble for his best friend, but... Glancing at James, Sirius lowered his gray eyes—after all, as long as James played the right way, Evans would be with him sooner or later, Sirius Nep wasn't a threat to him, but Vanessa wasn't necessarily.
He never dared to claim to know her, nor could he risk losing her.
a few days later.
On the way to the astronomy class, the hijackers and Snape ran into each other.
Sirius was handsome and tall, standing in the middle of the group of four, leaning on James, with the corners of his mouth raised, and a wanton smile, all the girls passing by were silently watching him, this is the most handsome boy in Hogwarts .
"Look who it is." Sirius looked at Snape lazily, "Mr. Snape, it's been a long time."
The four of them get together again, at this time today.Snape stared slightly, curiosity buried deep in his eyes.
Sirius and the other three walked in front of him slowly, Remus was pale and not in a good condition, he glanced at him, looked at Snape and said, "You peeked at Remus last time, didn't you?" ?” He raised the corner of his mouth and said, “You peeked at Madam Pomfrey sending him to the Whomping Willow.” He laughed, his gray eyes curved, and his charming appearance attracted passing girls to whisper.
"But you can't get in, can you?" Sirius said, bending close to him, in a voice only a few of them could hear. Punch that scab on the trunk, and you can follow him in." After he finished speaking with a smile, he pulled the other three away, Remus had a face full of disapproval, Peter followed timidly, James knew Sirius He also felt that Snape really owed a lesson, although he hesitated, he did not object.
After walking a little further, Remus couldn't help but said, "Sirius, you shouldn't have told him that, if he really did as you said, it would be very dangerous..."
Sirius said indifferently, "He always follows us sneakily, don't you feel annoyed, Remus?" He frowned in disgust, "As long as a harmless prank scares that guy, he won't Dare to provoke us again."
Remus stopped, looked at Sirius seriously, and said, "What if he's in danger?"
Sirius didn't care and said, "It's nothing. I will follow with James and Peter. If he is in danger, we will save him."
James said at once, "Yes, we will save him in time."
—and give him something else to embarrass him, both to vent his anger on James and to take the opportunity to quietly warn him about Vanessa.Sirius didn't say this, he just said: "And he won't necessarily go, Remus. I didn't order him to go, and he won't obey my orders. If he chooses the past, then everything is his own decision, even if there is danger, he has to take responsibility for his choice."
Remus was silent for a long time, and said: "Then what about me?" He said with a pale face, "Have you ever thought about my secret... What should I do if he knows my secret?"
Sirius was startled, and looked at his good brother in surprise. Obviously, he didn't take this into consideration in his impulsive plan.
So does James.
He reacted immediately after Remus finished saying this, and said seriously: "Yes, no, we can't let the snot go to the screaming shack, we have to stop him! If he knows the truth about Remus He will definitely reveal his identity! Remus will be fired!"
Although the consequences in Potter's words were serious, Remus' expression softened a lot after hearing it.He knew that his brothers would definitely not ignore him, they must have just not thought of this level.They are simple, persistent, and have a little Gryffindor-specific impulsiveness. If he grew up peacefully like them, he should also have this impulsiveness.
"Sirius?" Remus looked at Sirius who had been silent all this time.
The latter looked back at him, pursed his lips for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, Remus, I apologize to you."
Remus smiled and said it was nothing, he just hoped that Snape would not show up on the night of the full moon.
Sirius didn't mention this matter again. What he didn't tell others was... When he first heard about the question Remus mentioned, he was indeed surprised and hesitant, but...he thought, if James Without Tom around, without him following that sentence, he might still feel that it's okay to do that.
Because Dumbledore was there.
Dumbledore concealed his identity for Remus and let him go to school here, so even if Snape knew the secret, all he had to do was find Dumbledore and ask him to come forward to settle the matter.
Sirius suddenly realized a terrible reality.
Although he entered Gryffindor, at certain moments, he still couldn't erase his true nature as a Black.
He felt for the first time how extreme and terrible he was when things touched his own interests.
When he came back to his senses, he was already in a cold sweat.
fortunately.
Luckily he didn't do that.
Sirius frowned, ignoring the admiring eyes from the female students around him, and walked up the steps quickly.
He still had time to stop it.
The author has something to say: The Screaming Shack incident can be said to be the biggest stain in Sirius’ life
In the original book, his few words directly led to this tragedy, which not only almost killed Snape, but also caused a gap between him and Lupine. In class, Lupine will feel like everyone else that he really did that...
But in this book, let's let him wake up in time, but whether the result can be saved is not certain, cough cough
No manuscript saved, so painful, so uncomfortable QAQ
She walked over, bent down to pick it up with difficulty, looked in the direction of the second floor, and went to the bathroom first.
On the second floor, Sirius sat in the guest room and found the portrait hanging on the wall.
"Mr. Black, it's you." Roxy looked at him unexpectedly, "I thought I had no chance to see you."
Sirius stared blankly at the portrait of the lady who almost died because of him, and said after a long time, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Wilson."
Roxy said with a smile: "Don't apologize, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was my own carelessness. It's good now, isn't it? I can be with my Vanessa forever."
Even if she said that, Sirius couldn't help but blame himself. He sat there, unable to care about the embarrassment just now, his eyes were hot and bloodshot.
When Vanessa came up, she saw him standing there straight, with his back stiffened, one hand propped against the wall, staring at the portrait and constantly apologizing to Roxy.This is something Vanessa has often done since her mother died.
"Come here." She said slowly to Sirius.
Sirius looked over and stared at her intently for a long time with gray eyes, then withdrew his hand and walked slowly over.
He followed her back to her bedroom.
Standing at the door of the bedroom, looking at Vanessa's back, Sirius pursed his thin lips and wanted to say something, but Vanessa spoke before that, blocking all his words with one sentence.
"That matter is in the past, don't mention it again."
Vanessa walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat down, pulled the quilt over herself, tilted her head and said to him, "Why do you go to the store as a dog?" She didn't think Sirius would be so stupid and cause so many Muggles Of note, he must have a reason.
Sure enough, Sirius remembered the embarrassing experience just now, and his handsome face was stained with dissatisfaction and annoyance: "...I don't have Muggle currency, and I didn't remember it until I arrived, so I had to leave the store like this. However, I kept Jin Jia Long." He still hated those Muggles, and secretly decided that he must teach them a lesson in the future, but definitely not now.
Vanessa raised her forehead: "It's all my fault, I forgot about it, I should give you money."
Sirius turned his head and said, "No need. When I come to you in the future, I will definitely exchange enough Muggle currency."
must!absolute!affim!The kind of thing that happened today, don't happen again in this life, resolute!
Silence swept over, and it took a long time for Vanessa to say to Sirius: "What do you want to see me today?"
In fact, this is knowingly asking, today is Valentine's Day, what can Sirius do?
He didn't answer directly, but just said to her: "Lie down, I'll take care of you, do you want to eat or drink?"
He directly took out a candy from his pocket, turned the candy into a cup, then used a clear spring like water, and finally applied a heating spell. After everything was done, he walked to her with the finished product, and handed it over to her, saying, "Drink some hot water."
Vanessa looked at the cup of hot water. With her here, Sirius could use magic freely, and Zongsi from the Ministry of Magic couldn't determine whether underage wizards were using magic under such circumstances.
"Thank you." She took the cup and drank a few mouthfuls of hot water, feeling a little better.
Lie down slowly, Vanessa really couldn't hold on anymore, although Sirius hadn't left yet, it's not good for her to lie down directly, but she really had enough troubles today, so let's just be rude this time.
"What else do you need? Oh, yes, menstrual pain potion, I can make this, where is the potion room? Downstairs?" Sirius stood up, holding his wand and asked her, Vanessa looked at him and frowned Thinking about it, he was silent for a while before speaking.
"Do you know the recipe for the Dysmenorrhea potion?" she asked him.
Sirius spoke quickly, "I don't know."
Vanessa wanted to say something, but Sirius immediately continued: "But I can find out, all I need is a book, do you have a book on this?"
Vanessa was running a potion shop, and of course there were many books on potion making. She nodded and told him the location of the potion room. Sirius went downstairs immediately after knowing it.
Lying on the bed, Vanessa looked at the ceiling quietly, recalling everything that could be said to be flying around tonight, it was really a big difference.
Less than half an hour later, Sirius came up with a measuring bottle. He took off his scarf, took off his school robe, and only wore a sweater, shirt and trousers. The neckline was a golden red that belonged to Gryffindor. The tie was really out of place in her Slytherin-like home.
"It's done."
Sirius walked to her side, hesitated for a moment, and sat on the side of her bed with his lips pursed, then stretched out a hand to help her up.
Vanessa was startled, as if she didn't expect him to have such a considerate side.
"The color and requirements are the same as those written in the book. It's very simple to make, so there must be no problem." He showed her the potion he made, and said with a slight smile, "Drink it quickly, you will feel comfortable after drinking it." He said Putting his arm around her shoulders, letting her lean into his arms, he whispered softly, with a masculine breath and voice, which made Vanessa a little confused.
She drank the potion with his hand, and it tasted surprisingly good, not bad at all.
"I added a little something else, it won't affect the efficacy of the medicine, but the taste will be delicious." Sirius said so, and directly chanted the disappearing spell on the empty bottle.
He didn't want to go to the measuring bottle anymore, he wanted to just hold her like this.
But she still left his arms.
Vanessa lay on the bed again, covered the quilt and said, "It tastes like orange, it's delicious." Maybe it's a good choice to figure out the formula and sell it out. The production time is short, the taste is good, and the effect is not bad. Drink After going down, the dysmenorrhea eased a lot soon.
"That's good, I wrote the recipe in the notebook in your potions room, if I'm not around in the future... no, I won't be around, I'll send it to you every month from now on." Sirius twisted seriously His slender eyebrows and gray eyes were full of thought, "I will remember today's date and send it to you in advance."
Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I moved a week earlier this month...and I don't do it every week."
Sirius nodded and said, "That's okay, be prepared."
Vanessa looked at him, it felt so good to be cared about, Sirius' tone of voice and the emotion in his eyes, it was hard for Vanessa to ignore
"By the way, there is this." He seemed to think of something suddenly, took out an exquisite gift box from his pants pocket, handed it to her and said, "This is the gift I want to give you personally, you know, today is... lover Festival." He breathed out slightly, summoned up the courage to look at Vanessa, and said without any rejection, "You must accept it."
Vanessa glanced at the gift box and whispered, "But I may not have the energy to prepare a return gift for you today."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you put it away." Sirius sent the gift box forward.
Vanessa slowly stretched out her hand, took the gift box, and opened it in front of him. He said in a panic, "You can open it after I leave, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Vanessa opened the gift.
Inside the box was a ring.
Vanessa watched, falling silent.
The meaning of the ring does not need to be elaborated too much. There is no question of whether to accept this gift, and it is undoubtedly absolutely unacceptable.
Vanessa opened her mouth to refuse, but Sirius said first, "You take it first, as I keep it with you."
Vanessa looked at him disapprovingly, and Sirius continued, "Remember my promise to you?"
"Which one are you referring to?" she asked confusedly.
Sirius was silent for a while, and said to her, "I will leave the Black house."
Vanessa looked at him in disbelief: "I thought you were joking."
"Every word I say to you is serious." Sirius stood beside the bed and said expressionlessly, "I said, at most one year."
Vanessa forced herself to sit up: "Don't mess around, you..."
"That's not random. Even without you, I would have done it sooner or later." Sirius tilted his head and said with a frown, "That place has never been a home for me. In my parents' minds, I also call Not really their sons. All their ideas run counter to mine, even if they may not agree with some of the Dark Lord's current extreme practices, but they are no different from the Dark Lord's ultimate ideas. The revival of the so-called pure blood glory, no Avoiding, facing Muggles, ruling Muggles... They think they are on the right path, but they don't know that they are the ones who really want to destroy the Black family."
Sirius smiled mockingly, and said in a low voice, "In their minds, no matter how normal my ideas are, I'm unworthy and rebellious. Only my younger brother——Regulus, he is theirs. A brave little hero in my heart who can fight for the glory and interests of the Black family." When Sirius said this, his tone was extremely calm and indifferent. It is hard to imagine how he maintains reason at this moment, in fact, he is often a little impulsive As a hot-blooded young man who doesn't care about the consequences, he can maintain this state at this moment, obviously because this matter and these words have been tossing and turning in his heart for a long, long time.
In fact, this is very difficult for Sirius.
He had grown up in an environment like the Blacks', but he wasn't made to be a Death Eater.Look at Regulus, Vanessa has never been in contact with him, and she doesn't comment on his character or behavior. The only thing she knows is that he grew up in the same family as Sirius, but his and Sirius' choices are completely different. on the contrary.
Sirius was able to maintain rare justice in such a world and such a family, and even chose to leave the family and give up his status as the heir of the Black family. Even if it might be because of her, Vanessa could not say that he Not acting bravely.
Although in the eyes of his family, he may be an out-and-out rebellious son, useless and vicious, but the rebellious and magnanimous justice he harbors is very precious and very precious in the eyes of others. charming.
She stared at him deeply, his handsome silhouette reflected in her green eyes.
Sirius looked very relaxed at the moment, even smiled, and said casually: "That home is not called home, it is a cage, and everything about me is shackled. Recently, they even..." Even forced him and Puvit He would never agree to get engaged to his young lady when he was graduating from sixth grade.
"Don't talk about that." Sirius didn't intend to mention these things to upset Vanessa, anyway, they were destined not to happen, he said directly, "You take it first, don't reject me, wait until I really fulfill my promise After that, I'll come back and propose to you."
He even proposed directly.
Vanessa looked at him in astonishment. She never thought that one day, there would be a man who would marry her regardless of his noble family or even everything else.
Those things that she once wanted to beg from the man she loved the most in the past, she got it from Sirius without any effort.
"But I am the daughter of a pure-blood traitor." Vanessa said hoarsely, "If you marry me, you will not only lose your position as the heir to the Black family, but also become a thorn in the side of the Death Eaters. You..."
"Even if they don't see me as a thorn in their side, I will try my best to fight them when I join the Order of the Phoenix after graduation." Sirius said without hesitation, "Also, never say anything about a pure-blood traitor, Vanessa, it's just the Dark Lord It’s just an extreme concept thrown up by those self-willed, stupid and arrogant pure-blood families, magic has no distinction between high and low, and the same is true for people who know magic.”
There is no distinction between high and low magic, and so are those who know it.
He was so right.
If every wizard could think so clearly like Sirius, wouldn't the war that is about to start happen?
Vanessa listened to his words, her mood changed little by little.
Sirius knelt down slowly, meeting her eyes at close range.
"Just keep it for me temporarily." He said softly, "Don't be stressed, that's the path I was destined to take, it's for you, but more for myself." He was silent for a while, with self-mockery on his face "Since in their eyes, I have always been a rebellious son who wants to destroy the Black family, and nothing I do can bring honor and prosperity to that family, then they don't need to worry anymore. I will quit by myself .”
"Sirius..." Vanessa still tried to persuade him, but he directly pressed her back on the bed and lay down, saying each word, "rest, you are tired. This ring, when I was in sixth grade, I will Come and get it, if you still don't want to accept my words at that time."
Vanessa lay back on the bed, staring at Sirius with complicated eyes. He folded his hands in his pockets and pretended to be relaxed: "Don't feel guilty about it, and don't be too narcissistic to think that I'm all for you. Vanessa , I'm 16 years old, I'm a little older than them all, because my birthday is after the start date, so I can only enter the second year. I spent 12 years old in the school when I officially entered Hogwarts Birthday." He said to her, "I'm not a kid anymore, I know what I'm doing." He wanted to kiss her goodnight, but seeing her look, he gave up the idea.
He went to the door, said "good night" to her, and then closed the door and left.
He didn't go back to Hogwarts.
Vanessa could still feel his breath.
He's in the guest room, roughly, chatting with Roxy's portrait—perhaps continuing to apologize.
Vanessa pulled up the quilt and covered herself tightly, holding the ring tightly in her hand, and finally decided to keep it temporarily.
Maybe she should also give herself and the future a chance.
She will never meet anyone in her life who is willing to give everything for her like Sirius.
If you haven't tried anything, how do you know you won't be happy together?Maybe they will be happy together.
After closing her eyes and taking the potion, she felt much better and was able to sleep.
However, she didn't sleep long when there was a knock on the window, and it was an owl.
Today is a holiday, and it's normal for an owl to visit, but... for a relationship like Vanessa, receiving gifts on Valentine's Day, except for Sirius's, everyone else seems strange.
She lifted the quilt and got up, went to the window and opened it, took off the wraps from the owl's feet, and prepared some nuts for it.
She had seen this owl before.
It was used when Narcissa delivered a letter last time.
Vanessa opened the package, and inside she saw Narcissa's letter, chocolates, and...a beautiful diamond necklace.
The necklace is really beautiful, the main diamond in the center is green, clear in color and beautiful in fire, surrounded by supporting diamonds, one by one, from big to small, extending backward a little bit - such a necklace is worth a lot Needless to say.
Unfolding the letter paper, Vanessa saw a few words written by Narcissa on the letter.
[Please accept the gift, as soon as I saw it, I felt that it should belong to you, and I look forward to seeing you wearing it.In addition, no expensive return gifts are needed, chocolates made by yourself will do. —Your faithful Narcissa Malfoy]
From N·M.
Vanessa held the letter paper and fell into deep thought. The relationship between her and Narcissa was not good enough to exchange gifts, let alone such expensive gifts.But this is indeed Narcissa's handwriting, and it is also from her.
When she was hesitating whether to accept it, another owl flew in. Although it didn't look very strong, it was full of pride.
Vanessa accidentally caught it, took off the letters on its feet, and placed a food bowl for it next to the owl just now.
Seeing the owl bowed its head and began to eat, Vanessa went to check the letter it brought.
No bloody Valentines, just a letter from Severus Snape that Vanessa met a while ago.
Snape's handwriting was the same as his own, and he resolutely and resolutely wrote SS on the envelope. Before Vanessa had time to open it, there was a knock on the door. There was no one else here except Sirius.
Vanessa put the necklace Narcissa sent into the box, then turned her head and said, "Please come in."
Sirius stepped in from the outside of the door: "I saw an owl." His handsome face was dark, and he asked a little stiffly and hesitantly, "Who sent you the Valentine's Day gift?"
Vanessa glanced at the gift box on the table and said truthfully, "It's Mrs. Malfoy."
Sirius looked at her unexpectedly: "Narcisha?"
"Yes, I'm surprised too, I'm still wondering whether to accept it or not." She put down Snape's letter, picked up the necklace, and opened it to Sirius to see, "It's too precious, she said as long as I send the chocolate back That's it, I..."
"It's just a drop in the bucket to her, it's not expensive at all." Sirius fiddled with the necklace and said, "She married Malfoy, if you've seen the jewelry she wears, you won't think it's expensive. You It's totally acceptable, though I hate Malfoy, but not Narcissa."
After all, she was his sister, and Narcissa had never openly disliked Sirius' life philosophy like Bellatrix did. His relationship with her wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either.
"But I always feel that this is not good." Vanessa was still a little hesitant.
"It's nothing wrong, didn't you want to send the chocolate back?" Sirius put the necklace back into the box, his eyes were attracted by a letter, he glanced at the SS on it calmly, and didn't think about how to ask, Vanessa spoke again.
She said: "Since you said so, then I'll accept it. It doesn't seem good to always refuse other people's kindness. I'm going to make chocolate now, and I can send it back in time for Valentine's Day. Do you want it?"
Sirius immediately said, "Of course, I want the first one."
"Then come and help."
She took his arm, and she felt no menstrual cramps at all, and left the bedroom with Sirius in a good mood, and went to the kitchen on the first floor to make chocolate.She herself was relatively relaxed, but Sirius was still thinking about the letter sent on Valentine's Day.
There was really nothing wrong with the content of that letter.
That was Snape's reply to Vanessa's offer of a joint potions shop.
The suggestion she made at Christmas, which Snape didn't reply until Valentine's Day, was obviously well thought out.
After Sirius left the next day, Vanessa opened the letter.
His letter was very short and rarely sarcasm-free, and he told her directly that he agreed.
Vanessa is very happy. Snape's future is limitless, and his achievements in potions will surely surpass any potions master she knows well. Working with him, she can almost describe the beauty and prosperity of the potions store. of the future.
Malfoy Manor.
Lucius has been busy with the official duties of the Ministry of Magic and the private tasks of the Dark Lord recently, and rarely goes home.
Nearly a week after Valentine's Day, Narcissa met her husband who had finally returned home.
Lucius took off his robe and handed it to her. Narcissa asked him, "Is it going well?"
He nodded and said nothing, looking very tired.
Narcissa looked at his back as he was about to go up to the second floor, thought for a while and said: "There is a box of chocolates, I put it in your bedroom, I can't get in your study."
Lucius stopped and looked at her, a little surprised: "You made me chocolate?" He thought for a while, "I'm sorry, because I was too busy, I forgot to prepare a Valentine's Day gift for you."
Narcissa smiled and said, "I didn't prepare it for you."
"Who is that?" He frowned.
"Vanessa made it herself." Narcissa said lightly, "I gave her a necklace, no, to be precise, it was from you. What I saw on the table in your bedroom is a women's necklace, definitely not What’s for me is for her.”
Lucius stood there silently, still maintaining the movement of untying his tie. It took him a long time before he said, "Why do you think it wasn't for you?"
Narcissa said: "Because you never gave me such...shabby jewelry. What you gave me was extremely luxurious and priceless."
Indeed, the necklace was actually quite expensive, but compared to the other jewels Lucius bought, it was really not on the table.
Lucius turned his head back and said to her with a stiff back: "Why did you do that, I remember I told you, stop doing unnecessary things."
Narcissa hugged his wizard robe and said: "Lucius, we grew up together, and I know too well which of your words is true and which is false. We are a family and will have children together in the future. I Treat you as my best friend, and I am willing to make some efforts for you, even if you don't want to speak your truth."
Lucius looked at her with a complicated expression, and finally went straight to the bedroom without saying anything.
He originally wanted to go to the study. The Dark Lord is planning an attack again recently. His target this time is the Order of the Phoenix. He wants to teach Dumbledore a lesson. He probably already concluded that it was Dumbledore who destroyed the Horcrux. There was nothing better than to have no more doubts about him.
He hurried back to the bedroom, walked to the bed, picked up the chocolate box on the bedside table, he opened it gently, reached out and took out one, even if he didn't put it in his mouth, he could still smell the rich taste of chocolate.
However, this chocolate tasted bitter.
Very bitter.
Hogwarts.
After Sirius went back to school, he never forgot the letter he sent to Vanessa on Valentine's night.
from SS.
That owl still looks familiar.
"Sirius." Potter's voice rang in his ear, "What are you thinking? I didn't respond to talking to you."
Sirius returned to his senses, frowned and said, "What did you just say?"
Potter pointed at Snape who was making potions with Lily Evans not far away with his chin, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you surprised that this Valentine's Day, the snot-nosed man didn't invite Evans."
Sirius was also a little surprised: "Really?"
Potter said: "It's absolutely true." He pushed his glasses, "Do you think he was afraid of being beaten by us on Valentine's Day last year, so he didn't dare?"
Sirius glanced at Snape, who had his back turned to this side. He had been partnering with Evans in Potions class, which was nothing surprising, almost all Gryffindors and Slytherins knew about them Close relationship, he used to pester Evans on Valentine's Day, why not this year?
If he said he was afraid of being beaten, he would never believe it.
"Could it be that he has some conspiracy?" Seeing Sirius' serious expression, James Potter said nervously, "He won't be doing something in the dark to avoid our attention, right?"
Sirius slowly added the cut ingredients into the cauldron, and said absently, "That's impossible. You stare at Evans all day, how could he avoid your sight and play tricks."
Potter didn't realize that Sirius looked like a perverted voyeur in what he said, so he took it for granted, "You're right, then what's going on with him?"
Remus and Peter were right behind them and could hear their conversation. Remus couldn't help but said at this moment: "Maybe we misunderstood, in fact Evans and Snape are just good friends, he has a favorite now. girl?"
"Impossible!" Potter said in a loud voice, which attracted Professor Slughorn's attention. He immediately covered his mouth and glanced in the direction of Lily Evans. Pu looked over together.
She glanced at him in disgust, and quickly looked away.
Being so despised by the person he likes makes Potter feel unhappy.
"The way that guy looks at Evans definitely likes her, there is no other possibility." Potter finished angrily, shaking the stirring rod vigorously, and Sirius grabbed his wrist speechlessly.
"Do you want to fry the cauldron?" He snatched the stirrer from Potter, who moaned and looked frustrated.
While stirring the cauldron, Sirius was thinking about the connections between these things. He suddenly realized something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Snape. Snape seemed to be aware of it, and looked back at him with cold and contemptuous eyes.
SS...
Severus Snape.
It's him!
Sirius stared at Snape intently, his gray eyes wide open, until Potter's hand dangled before his eyes.
"Sirius, what's wrong with you?" James asked puzzled, "Are you playing a game of whoever blinks first loses with the snotling?"
Sirius frowned and said, "Come with me to the owl shed after class."
"What are you doing there? It's dirty." James was a little puzzled.
"I'm going to make sure of one thing."
After Lily Evans and Snape handed in the potion first, Sirius also quickly finished the remaining steps, handed the potion to Slughorn, and dragged James away in a hurry.
Remus and Peter hadn't finished yet, so they could only watch helplessly as they left first.
"Hey, slow down, Sirius, I almost fell!" Potter suggested helplessly, but his brother didn't listen at all.
When they finally arrived at the owl shed, before he had time to rest, Sirius grabbed his sleeve and said, "You know Snape's owl, right?"
Potter nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Find it." Sirius gave him a push.
Potter turned his head and touched the back of his head: "What are you looking for with his owl?"
"See if he sent a letter while we were away." Sirius said with a serious expression.
Potter was stunned, and suddenly realized: "I know! You want to see if he secretly wrote to ask Evans! You are so smart, Sirius, why didn't I think of it, he didn't ask Evans in person , it may also be a letter to make an appointment!"
...he was completely mistaken.
The corner of Sirius' mouth twitched, with a look of embarrassment on his handsome face, but he didn't explain, and went straight to looking for Snape's owl with James.
When not sending letters, the owl would live in the owl shed, and Snape's owl was free at the moment, in a corner of the shed.
Sirius looked at the owl he had seen outside the window of Vanessa's house, with a slightly condensed expression.
It's really him.
James Potter was eager to try: "We found the snotty owl, what do we do now? How do we know if it sent a letter on Valentine's Day?"
Sirius glanced at the owl and said, "It was sent, but not to Evans."
Porter black question mark face.
Sirius lowered his eyes, and the hand beside him slowly clenched his fist.
Snape had no idea what Sirius was doing at the moment, or what he was thinking.
The reason why he didn't ask Lily on Valentine's Day was because he was still thinking about last year's Valentine's Day.
That incident stuck in his heart like a thorn. Even though he had chosen to forgive Lily, they were still friends as before, but every time he thought about it, his heart ached.
When it came to Valentine's Day, the familiar environment made those memories come out clearly, not to mention Yue Lili, even to meet her, he didn't even have the courage to meet her that day.
Sirius had completely lost his mind.
He thought Snape had moved on.
He thought that Snape fell in love with Vanessa, he thought of the time when Snape was in St. Mungo's, and thought of the threats and provocations Snape made to him after he came back, and immediately felt that his idea was not wrong at all. .
James Potter discovered that Sirius had been targeting snot-nosers recently as before.
He was very happy, and said to his brother: "You are familiar with the same way, you don't know how polite you were to the snot man a while ago, and you didn't allow me to call him by his nickname, how terrified I am." He whispered , "I thought you had the Imperius Curse."
Sirius sat at the long table, and everyone else was eating, but he couldn't finish it.
He glanced across the long table, looked away and said, "I just think he needs a lesson before he can figure out the situation."
James echoed: "Yes, he really owes a lesson. Evans stared at me recently, and it must be because the snot said something about me in front of her! But how do we teach him?" He was eager to try, "Try Try our new prank?"
Sirius cast an inexplicable glance at Remus who was eating, and suddenly said, "It will be a full moon night in a few days."
James nodded and said, "Yeah, you..." He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "You mean..."
Sirius sneered, "He's always sneaking around and wondering what we did on the night of the full moon, expecting us to be fired. Well, let's just let him see what we're doing."
Sirius already had a plan in mind.
He wouldn't put him to death like in the fourth year, now Snape didn't threaten Vanessa's life, and he didn't have any interest in killing people.Even if the other party has pledged allegiance to Voldemort and is an out-and-out Death Eater, he will definitely become his enemy after graduation.
He just wanted to teach him a lesson and let him know that he might as well choose Lily Evans than Vanessa.
He wasn't making trouble for his best friend, but... Glancing at James, Sirius lowered his gray eyes—after all, as long as James played the right way, Evans would be with him sooner or later, Sirius Nep wasn't a threat to him, but Vanessa wasn't necessarily.
He never dared to claim to know her, nor could he risk losing her.
a few days later.
On the way to the astronomy class, the hijackers and Snape ran into each other.
Sirius was handsome and tall, standing in the middle of the group of four, leaning on James, with the corners of his mouth raised, and a wanton smile, all the girls passing by were silently watching him, this is the most handsome boy in Hogwarts .
"Look who it is." Sirius looked at Snape lazily, "Mr. Snape, it's been a long time."
The four of them get together again, at this time today.Snape stared slightly, curiosity buried deep in his eyes.
Sirius and the other three walked in front of him slowly, Remus was pale and not in a good condition, he glanced at him, looked at Snape and said, "You peeked at Remus last time, didn't you?" ?” He raised the corner of his mouth and said, “You peeked at Madam Pomfrey sending him to the Whomping Willow.” He laughed, his gray eyes curved, and his charming appearance attracted passing girls to whisper.
"But you can't get in, can you?" Sirius said, bending close to him, in a voice only a few of them could hear. Punch that scab on the trunk, and you can follow him in." After he finished speaking with a smile, he pulled the other three away, Remus had a face full of disapproval, Peter followed timidly, James knew Sirius He also felt that Snape really owed a lesson, although he hesitated, he did not object.
After walking a little further, Remus couldn't help but said, "Sirius, you shouldn't have told him that, if he really did as you said, it would be very dangerous..."
Sirius said indifferently, "He always follows us sneakily, don't you feel annoyed, Remus?" He frowned in disgust, "As long as a harmless prank scares that guy, he won't Dare to provoke us again."
Remus stopped, looked at Sirius seriously, and said, "What if he's in danger?"
Sirius didn't care and said, "It's nothing. I will follow with James and Peter. If he is in danger, we will save him."
James said at once, "Yes, we will save him in time."
—and give him something else to embarrass him, both to vent his anger on James and to take the opportunity to quietly warn him about Vanessa.Sirius didn't say this, he just said: "And he won't necessarily go, Remus. I didn't order him to go, and he won't obey my orders. If he chooses the past, then everything is his own decision, even if there is danger, he has to take responsibility for his choice."
Remus was silent for a long time, and said: "Then what about me?" He said with a pale face, "Have you ever thought about my secret... What should I do if he knows my secret?"
Sirius was startled, and looked at his good brother in surprise. Obviously, he didn't take this into consideration in his impulsive plan.
So does James.
He reacted immediately after Remus finished saying this, and said seriously: "Yes, no, we can't let the snot go to the screaming shack, we have to stop him! If he knows the truth about Remus He will definitely reveal his identity! Remus will be fired!"
Although the consequences in Potter's words were serious, Remus' expression softened a lot after hearing it.He knew that his brothers would definitely not ignore him, they must have just not thought of this level.They are simple, persistent, and have a little Gryffindor-specific impulsiveness. If he grew up peacefully like them, he should also have this impulsiveness.
"Sirius?" Remus looked at Sirius who had been silent all this time.
The latter looked back at him, pursed his lips for a while, and said, "I'm sorry, Remus, I apologize to you."
Remus smiled and said it was nothing, he just hoped that Snape would not show up on the night of the full moon.
Sirius didn't mention this matter again. What he didn't tell others was... When he first heard about the question Remus mentioned, he was indeed surprised and hesitant, but...he thought, if James Without Tom around, without him following that sentence, he might still feel that it's okay to do that.
Because Dumbledore was there.
Dumbledore concealed his identity for Remus and let him go to school here, so even if Snape knew the secret, all he had to do was find Dumbledore and ask him to come forward to settle the matter.
Sirius suddenly realized a terrible reality.
Although he entered Gryffindor, at certain moments, he still couldn't erase his true nature as a Black.
He felt for the first time how extreme and terrible he was when things touched his own interests.
When he came back to his senses, he was already in a cold sweat.
fortunately.
Luckily he didn't do that.
Sirius frowned, ignoring the admiring eyes from the female students around him, and walked up the steps quickly.
He still had time to stop it.
The author has something to say: The Screaming Shack incident can be said to be the biggest stain in Sirius’ life
In the original book, his few words directly led to this tragedy, which not only almost killed Snape, but also caused a gap between him and Lupine. In class, Lupine will feel like everyone else that he really did that...
But in this book, let's let him wake up in time, but whether the result can be saved is not certain, cough cough
No manuscript saved, so painful, so uncomfortable QAQ
